1937 World Series - Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Mel Ott & Jo-Jo Moore Type 1 Photo – Underwood & Underwood - Measures Approx. 7" x 9" - PSA Type I Encapsulation
The 1937 Fall Classic would see a rematch of the 1936 Series, with the mighty New York Yankees once again matching up against their cross-river rival New York Giants. The Yankees would continue their dominance over their cross-town opponents by besting the Giant's in a short five-game series. The opening game would be played at Yankee Stadium with Giant's ace lefthander Carl Hubbell clinging to a 1-0 lead over Yankees southpaw Lefty Gomez through four innings. In the bottom of the fifth, Joe DiMaggio would plate two runs with a clutch single, and the Yankees would move on to best Hubbell by an 8-1 score. Before this grand opening game, the Yankees two immortals, Lou Gehrig and Joe DiMaggio, would pose with Hall of Fame slugger Mel Ott and fine hitting leftfielder Jo-Jo Moore.

This outstanding offering by the renowned Underwood & Underwood News Service portrays that image in world-class fashion, as the four New Yorkers grip on to a period-style bat. This 7" x 9" marvel emulates impeccable resolution and a somewhat dark contrast, and we cannot detect any glaring surface flaws. The verso includes a critical October 7, 1937 caption depicting details of the previous day's events including the final 8-1 score. A revered memento from that by-gone Fall Classic, it includes three of the finest ballplayers who ever donned an MLB uniform, especially including the iconic "Iron Horse" and "Yankee Clipper" whose exploits will echo for eternity!
